Courses A federal government agency that is responsible for setting vehicle fuel economy standards for automobile manufacturers is conducting research in order to update its ? Help urse Home fuel economy standards for the year 2030. Automobile manufacturers, and consumers, are highly interested in what the agency's findings and determinations will be as this will affect every vehicle in the United States. The federal government agency is very interested in the relationship between the weight of a vehicle and the vehicle's fuel economy (average miles per gallon (MPG)). Specifically, the agency is concerned that if the current trend of automobile manufacturers producing heavier signments new vehicles continues that its fuel economy targets will not be met. The agency's research department recently collected data for analysis in order to support the agency's upcoming discussion with industry regarding its proposed 2030 fuel economy standards. The average MPG from a random sample of 750 vehicles was udent Gradebook recently calculated by the agency. The research division also collected the vehicle weight of these 750 randomly sampled vehicles. The Vehicle Number, Type, Vehicle Weight, Average MPG, Fuel Tank Size (Gallons), Engine Size (Liters), and Meet or Not Meet Current Standards data were collected for these 750 vehicles. atCrunch StatCrunch Data Set Gradebook Text Contents Score ideo and Resource see score ibrary Agency leadership wants to create a simple linear regression model to predict a vehicle's average fuel economy based upon the weight of the vehicle. Create a scatterplot using Vehicle Weight as the independent variable and Average MPG as the dependent variable. Perform a visual analysis of the data: describe the trend, strength and shape of the relationship between these two variables. Choose the correct answer below. see score O A. The scatterplot indicates there is a positive, strong, linear relationship between Vehicle Weight and Average MPG. see score O B. The scatterplot indicates there is a negative, weak, linear relationship between Vehicle Weight and Average MPG. O C. The scatterplot indicates there is a negative, strong, linear relationship between Vehicle Weight and Average MPG. O D. The scatterplot indicates there is a positive, weak, linear relationship between Vehicle Weight and Average MPG. see score O E. The scatterplot indicates there is no relationship between Vehicle Weight and Average MPG. Include the scatterplot image as part of your answer. Save the image as a jpg or png file, then click "Show Work" and use the "Insert Image" button to upload and save your scatterplot. Based upon your visual analysis of the scatterplot. is simple linear regression appropriate? Why or why not? View instructor tip xt
